Pumpkins!

We have loved exploring pumpkins. First we worked on our fine motor and hand-eye coordination skills by hammering golf tees into them. Then we opened them up and explored what was inside. After exploring with our senses we decided we wanted to taste the pumpkin so cut it up, then added some oil and spices to it and roasted it. We read Pumpkin Soup as our Key Text and decided we would also like to make soup with our pumpkins. We carefully chopped it up and added it to Miss Pell's blender along with the other ingredients we needed until it turned into soup. Some of us really loved eating pumpkin but some of us weren't too sure!
